"My good performance does not make me right with God, nor does my bad performance make me any more lost and hopeless. All stand equally lost and equally able to be saved.

A Christian, when he or she has just experienced a success, should say: But this success does not increase Christ’s love for me. In fact it is only 
because of His love for me that this happened, not the other way around! 

And a Christian, when he or she has just experienced a failure, should say: If I had not failed in this way, that would not make me any more loved and accepted by God than I am at this moment! My performance is irrelevant. In fact, God is always working for my good (Romans 8:28) – He has allowed this to happen because He loves me, not because He doesn’t. What a radical principle!"
- Tim Keller, Galatians for You
